Burlington Certified Local Government Program


Burlington City Hall	Edmunds Middle School

Burlington's commitment to historic preservation is reflected in the City's designation as a Certified Local Government community by the National Park Service in 1991. This unique partnership between federal, state and local government provides valuable insight and perspective from the local level to state and federal regulators and decision makers. In turn, local governments have access to technical assistance and matching grant funds to further local preservation goals.

Activities of the Program include:

National & State Register of Historic Places	Burlington's CLG reviews nominations for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the State Register of Historic Places, and offers comments and recommendations to the VT Division for Historic Preservation and the National Park Service.
Burlington Historic Sites and Structures Survey	Burlington's CLG plays a lead role in the development of an inventory and documentation of historic sites and structures throughout the community.
Public Information & Education	Burlington's CLG Program offers a wide range of information available to the public and other public agencies about Burlington's historic resources, the importance of historic preservation to supporting the City's economy and quality of life, and the process and benefits of listing a property on the National Register of Historic Places.
Federal Section 106 Review	Burlington's CLG reviews and comments on development proposals involving federal property of programs for their potential impact on important historic resources.
